Katie Sent on 06/18/2019If you want to have fun at your wedding, hire Sly45
Just do yourself a favor and hire Sly45. They're worth every penny. The band kept people on the dance floor all night long. I'd describe Sly45 as fun, friendly, cool, and professional. Andrew is an incredible MC that kept the whole wedding flowing, and worked with all of our vendors to make everything come together. We had so many people compliment the band and how talented they were, and everyone noticed how the dance floor was packed the entire night. We (Bride and Groom) got up on stage with the band, which made for some epic pictures. ALSO, Wylie and Andrew and the team learned an epic version of Toto by Africa as our last song, and made it a party to remember.
We also had them DJ our ceremony and do all of the sound acoustics. We were right by the water with wind and noisy sea gulls, and the sound tech figured out how to make it sound perfect. You could hear our officiant crystal clear.
I can't say enough about Sly45! Andrew, Wylie, and the team was fun to worth with, and extremely talented, which made for the best night of our lives. Thank you, Sly45!

Hey Katie,
We had a blast playing for you, and we loved rocking out on stage with the two of you! Thank you for the pictures, we've been able to get a lot of use out of them. -

Brooks O. Sent on 03/09/2024Amazing Band! SO unique and customizable!
When we started planning our wedding, finding a band was one of our top priorities! As we did our search it was tough to match the budget, the sound and a supportive band lead. Many times I found myself talking to bookers and never even spoke to a member of the band, let alone the lead. But with SLY45 that was not the case!
Andrew and his bandmates were nothing short of amazing on all fronts. Andrew and Wylie were so helpful throughout the planning process; keeping us organized and on track leading to the big day! Our final planning call was something I can help but mention. Andrew was able to walk us through every step of the day, even going as far to play our first dance song for us so we would know the pace and where each of the breaks were since we customed the arrangement.
IF you are looking for an amazing band, one-stop-shop for all your musical needs, and an amazing team to work with, look no further than SLY45. I can promise you this, it’ll be one of the best decisions you make while you plan your big day!
Thank you, Andrew, and SLY45 for making our day perfect! Your acoustic arrangements for our ceremony were beautiful, the band kept the party going all night from first dance to closing out with Queens hits. It was everything my wife and I dreamt of and more!

Unity B. Sent on 01/26/2021Sly45 is a definite recommend
We asked this group for help with supporting a COVID-19 nonprofit and they absolutely crushed it. What impressed me more than their deep musical talent and production value, was their enthusiasm and ambition to support the cause. Book Sly45 for your event. -

Extremely talented, professional and FUN!
Hiring Sly 45 was one of the BEST decisions that my husband and I could’ve made for our wedding. Andrew and his team are so incredibly talented and fun to work with. Andrew was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was able to talk us through the timeline and give advice about what would work best and why. Because of Andrew’s experience in the wedding industry, he also had so many creative ideas for how to engage the guests on our dance floor and make sure the night ran smoothly. He was also extremely responsive and took the time to answer our questions or give feedback and suggestions. Sly 45 is able to play a HUGE selection of music, ranging in many different genres, so my husband and I were able to select songs that all of our guests would enjoy. In addition to their wealth of songs, we were able to choose two approved songs for them to learn how to play, one for our ceremony and one for our reception. They learned how to play both songs so well and beautifully. Before the wedding, I felt completely confident in our music choices and the timeline. On our wedding day, Sly 45 ROCKED it. Everyone was on the dance floor - from our youngest to oldest guests. I cannot express enough how incredibly talented Sly 45 is, and how enjoyable it was to dance and listen to them on our wedding day. We cannot recommend them enough for their talent, professionalism, and creative, upbeat energy.

The best wedding band!
Sly 45 was so much fun, and such incredible performers! My husband and I were very set on having a live band, and Sly 45 fit everything we were looking for. Andrew and Wylie were so helpful to work with, answering all our questions, providing guidance on our timeline, and filling in seamlessly where were unsure on selections. When our wedding was delayed due to Covid, they were flexible on rebooking, and able to accommodate us adding a ceremony service last minute, which we originally did not have booked. And most importantly, they are incredible musicians! Everyone was dancing all night and had the best time!! Could not recommend them more highly :) -

Sly 45 is the best wedding band!
No one didn’t have fun dancing at our wedding to this band ! We loved our 5 piece ensemble. Andrew and Wylie are pros and I could trust them with everything audio and timeline related - from set up to ceremony to our first and last dance of the night. They sing all the classics and fun tunes to throw a great party. We have used Sly45 for other family member weddings and private parties, cannot recommend them enough!

Allie K. Sent on 01/26/2022Best decision we made for our wedding day
Honestly, if I was only allowed to keep one thing from our wedding day it would be Sly 45 (and my husband I guess). They were the BEST wedding band. Best music, voices, and MC skills. We are still receiving compliments and questions from guests wondering how we booked them. Andrew + team were literally so much fun to work with. I actually enjoyed our planning calls which is saying a lot because I hated most everything else about wedding planning lol. Anyways, you MUST book them. They are amazing and I wanna be friends with them all.SLY 45's reply:
Hi Allie, I'm glad to hear that we helped even take a little bit of stress out of the planning process for you! You were our last wedding of the 2021 season and we had an absolute blast closing things out with you. Thanks for the pictures, that's pretty much the memory I have of how the dance floor looked all night! -

Rebecca C. Sent on 05/15/2022Wedding? More like Concert!
The music was and is one of the most important parts of the reception and my husband and I both knew it! The Sly did not disappoint and they more than delivered. They were involved with the planning process, Wylie took my song request and created a flowing mix of music for the evening. Andrew was so fun and professional to meet with. It eased my mind to review all my questions and there are so tiny little details you don't think of but the Sly are professionals and make sure no issues will arise. When they found out (only hours before the ceremony) my 96 year old grandmother wasn't able to attend due to a covid exposure, they set up a live stream the ceremony so that she could be there virtually. My Dad decided he wanted to add a female singer 2 weeks before the wedding, not an issue they figured that out too! Lastly, they learned a special birthday song for our Best Man who's golden birthday was our wedding day and rocked it out. They know how to keep the party going and dance floor packed all night long. At different moments it seriously felt like we were at a concert and not a wedding. Since the wedding, I have had several family and friends ask for reference for the band, they want them for their own events and weddings. Thanks Sly 45, ya'll are my favorite :) -

Alyssa K. Sent on 01/18/2022The Absolute Best
Our experience with Sly 45 at our late October wedding was absolutely amazing. They were truly PHENOMENAL. The number one thing we have heard from our guests since our wedding day was how amazing the band was. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Not only did they get and keep the party going, but leading up to the wedding they were amazingly helpful. On our call with Andrew a few weeks prior to the day, we had no idea what we wanted for our first dance song. He suggested Etta James’ At Last, and dancing to that song remains one of my favorite memories of the entire day. All around spectacular experience and could not recommend more!SLY 45's reply:
Thank you Alyssa, we had an absolute blast celebrating with you and your guests! I'd have to say the highlight for me was Matt and his father dancing to Mony Mony. I feel like we barely need to work when we have a hype man like that to get the dance floor started! -

Sly45 made our wedding
The best band!! They brought the party and kept everyone dancing. Easy to work with and made our experience personal. Great range in their repertoire! Couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding!SLY 45's reply:
Thanks Shelby! It ended up being a perfect night by the bay and it was an honor to be part of your celebration. -

Sly 45 is the band that you have dreamed of at your wedding!!! We could not have had a better experience with a music vendor - not only do they have incredible skill, but Andrew & Wiley were easy to communicate with, fun, flexible, helpful with planning and made it easy to personalize the music! They are true professionals and seriously had EVERYONE on the dance floor ( of all ages!!! ). The music selection is large and perfect to what you want played at a wedding!! Andrew makes an amazing MC - which made our reception a breeze and entertaining!! Special shout-out to the saxophonist - UNREAL! You need the sax!!!!! Hands down. Everyone said how amazing our wedding band was.. every member of the band!! People were dancing all night long! Also - the band learned a song for our first dance but I had specifically wanted it more acoustic and slowed down - and it was beyond my expectations!!! Sly 45 really made our wedding day so memorable and so special.SLY 45's reply:
Thank you Sarah! It was just as easy to work with you and Nick and the crowd made keeping the dance floor going all night easy. We really enjoy arranging and working on your first dance for you! -

Pat M. Sent on 01/21/2022Sly was absolute amazing, professional, and rocked!
We found Sly through a recommendation of our venue, and she mentioned how great they are to work with and awesome they sound. She couldn't have made more of an understatement. From the first time we talked until our very last interaction, they were patient, helpful, understanding, up front, and so gracious with their time.
I had about 1 million questions, and Andrew answered everyone of them, spending hours on the phone with me BEFORE I had even booked or payed them a cent. We felt so comfortable and confident with them as our MC's, and knew they would make our day so much less stressful.
They are adaptable, flexible, and great on the fly. No matter what happened the entire day of the wedding, I had 100% confidence they would handle anything thrown at them with ease and professionalism.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about them in the days and weeks after the wedding. Sly 45 was absolutely worth every penny and then some. I cannot stress enough how much our guests loved them, and how much of an impact it made on our day.
The talent and quality of every single musician was superb, and the vocals were clean and crisp. Some bands play music well, others are great at MC'ing and running the show, some are professional, Sly is all of these. They even employ a full time sound engineer at your event to make sure levels are correct, and ensure every mic, speaker, light, and every last detail is sounding perfect to your guests, in your unique venue.
After talking with some bands, looking through reviews, and having been to many weddings ourselves, it is plain that some bands and DJ's are more about self promotion, showing off, and acting like the whole world is only there to see them play a concert. With Sly, they make sure tha day is all about you, but you still get that live music energy and confidence of a live show.
They were incredibly understanding through Covid, rescheduling our wedding, and making sure all of our guests felt comfortable and safe.
We could not have picked a better music vendor to work with, and I don't have a single bad thing to say about Wylie, Andrew, and the rest of the crew.SLY 45's reply:
Thanks so much Pat, I absolutely love what you said about how making the day all about you since that is exactly what we are going for! I'm glad we could work through all the challenges and rescheduling to finally have the wedding you and Michaela wanted, we had a blast and it was definitely worth the wait! -

Eileen L. Sent on 10/06/2021Truly the best wedding band ever
Hired the duo for my daughter's wedding and they killed it. Everyone at the party said how much they enjoyed them and how they were literally the "best wedding band they have ever heard." It is amazing to think it is only two people. They are amazing. -

Awesome wedding music!!!
We loved our experience working with Andrew and his team at Watershed Entertainment! They were so flexible and helped us to plan an amazing night despite the many COVID planning changes we had to make to our wedding. They even added a live stream to our ceremony which made all the difference for our family who could not be there with us on the big day. The music at the ceremony and the reception was excellent and our guests really enjoyed it!SLY 45's reply:
Thanks Elissa, it was a rough year for planning but I'm so happy we could find a way to safely get you two hitched, set up the stream, and entertain everyone! -

Best wedding band
Andrew and every member from sly 45 made our wedding day the best experience! I had so many family members compliment us on the band. They were so accommodating and made the day seamless. Definitely recommend you can’t go wrong with choosing them! I remember calling Andrew the day of and asking to add something and it was not a problem. He made the whole process so easy to planSLY 45's reply:
Thanks Melissa! You all were an absolute pleasure to work with and you did a great job of planning a fun yet safe celebration. -
